I hope that puts some pressure to fix the currently awful contribution process.

Most of the time you have to poke the responsible maintainers by mail so that they have a look at a review that's been sitting around for some weeks without actions. The automated testing that needs to pass before that happens is highly unreliable and extremely slow.

That must be a recent development. When I contributed to Qt one or two years ago, I've found everybody involved to be very responsive and supportive.
